Bob and Doug Mackenzie revived in cartoon

TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) - Global Television has
acquired a cartoon based on the beer-addled Second City
Television characters Bob and Doug Mackenzie, played by Dave
Thomas and Rick Moranis. It will debut next year.

The Bob and Doug characters launched as a two-minute skit
on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp's sketch-comedy series SCTV
in 1980, in part to mock federal government rules that require
the public broadcaster to air identifiably "Canadian content"
in its homegrown TV shows.

The "hoser" characters grew a cult following as they went
on to star in TV commercials and the 1983 dumb buddy feature
film "The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew."
